yes, can. why not ?

So DSA means you must have some 'special skills' or 'talent' or is it your folks must be super rich or well-known?

must be talented. $$$ won't help in DSA process but can help to produce the talent required

talent = national champions for sports, or at least in the national team

talent = CONSISTENTLY good academic results from P4 onwards, say all subjects in the high 90s usually of well known pri schools

talent = extremely good in specified area of arts and music, eg minimum ABRSM grade 7 at Pri 5 and passed Theory Grade 5, or recognised by (eg) UOB painter of the year type .......[/quote]These r for common folks lah.
u really think those super rich or super power has no such privilege if
they can more or less justify it?

when i look at dunman high and river valley high year 5 and year 6…they seem to have a much smaller pool of students when compared with ri (jc) and hci (jc)…this means it will be difficult to compete in ccas, sports and games…

duman high and river valley high extended their sec school to have pre-u 1 and 2, while ri and hci merge with already established jcs…a lot of difference!

reading today's ST report made me feel that Cedar is very lucky....VS brother (VJC) said VS must get a galfren...so VS went to woo Cedar...

Cedar accepted proposal, it is like kena Toto without even buying it..
:lol:

you are right in a way ... BUT Cedar's standard is good especially if u consider their COP isnt very high... yet no one doing O levels can beat them in L1R5...in terms of consistency.... and Victoria has good name and tradition by VS / VJC

another possible candidate for VS is TKGS, but i think that was earlier era during 60s-70s era when many TKGS gals went to VS pre U...but i guess most Victorian old boys current batches from 80s onwards would prefer to partner and galfren Cedar... VS was quite near Cedar in the previous site and the unofficial bro-sis school status between VS - Cedar had been quite long already.

Cedar was a natural IP-candidate for Victoria 'cos almost like 3/4 of the girls go to VJC each year. And these IP ppl came to Cedar ytd and told them Cedar naughty girl, so must marry her to Victoria. :rotflmao:

So i wonder if the current Cedar girls now get 2 bonus pts to get into VJC after their O lvls?

question here..

how will njc and tjc sec 1 intake like in terms of percentage?
do they have uniformed groups to join?

Sorry in terms of what percentage?
Anyway the TJC sec 1 will only start in 2013. Right now they have an IP pgm called Temasek Academy which takes in students from Sec 3 onwards. The intake is about 70. Currently TJC dont hv uniformed grps. Not sure if they will change when they take in Sec 1s in the future.
